All Things New - Creative Knockouts #122

Hello and happy Thursday. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that Santa was good to you! I can't believe that today is the last day of the year! So it is time to bring on the New Year with this weeks challenge at Creative Knockouts. The theme is all things new. Do you have any new craft items, new craft toys or a new technique you want to use? Here is your chance!

The sponsor for this challenge is Lacy Sunshine and I was given Izzybella Boo's Spring Button Daisy to work with, thank you!

I decided to use a new card fold. This is a Z-Fold card but it is a little different (and easier) then the other Z-fold card I have made before. The image was colored with Copic markers.

Winged Wonders - Creative Knockouts #120

Buttons Galore - Crafting When We Can #109

Hello and happy Sunday! It is time for another challenge at Crafting When We Can. The theme this week is buttons. We want to see buttons on your cards and projects. The sponsor for this challenge is A Random Fan who is offering your choice of images from their store.

I am participating in a fun secret Santa and we are exchanging books. I love books and reading so I thought it would be fun to make a cute bookmark to go along with my gift. I used a Stamping Bella Uptown Girls image called Rebecca Loves to Read. Since it is a bookmark I didn't want to use a lot of thick layers so the book can still be closed easily. The image was colored with Copic markers on Cryogen white paper for some extra sparkle. I added a very lightweight magnet to help keep the bookmark in place.

This is the last challenge for 2015. Challenge #109 will be open until January 9th instead of the usual 2 weeks. So grab your buttons and lets see what you can create!
